Opis

Maybe you're stuck in a dead-end job, or maybe you feel like you've made the wrong career choice. Or just maybe, stepping into the role of Holly Homebody or Father Knows Best didn't peg the 401k-plan results you had anticipated. You were probably in your 20s when you made that decision. Who doesn't make bad choices then? The good news is that it's not too late to go back to college. The bad news is, your brain has probably been withering at the academic wayside. But going back to college as an older student definitely has its perks: You have a lot experience setting priorities; your attention span is longer than a Warble Fly; and you're there because you want to be--not because you saw an opportunity to flee your parent's home. This book will demystify your social and academic concerns about returning to college as a mature, undergraduate student. Because knowledge is power. Albeit, it may also make you swing a u-turn and run for the nearest border. College is not the place it was when you left it, perhaps 10 or 20 years ago. It certainly wasn't for me when I re-enlisted at 32 years old as a freshman. I wasn't prepared for the academic-life pitfalls and socialization amongst a mob of early 20-somethings. You shall not share the same fate.
